Early Years Workshop: The Bear's Garden 23 - 24 Oct 2026
A playful journey of stories, nature, making and imagination for little ones and their grown-ups.
Join visual artist Órla Kelly for a magical sensory adventure where the garden comes to life through storytelling, puppetry, making and play.
Together, we’ll make our own bear hand puppets before sitting down to a picnic and feast for bears and little explorers alike.
And when the rain arrives, we’ll take shelter in a cosy cave and snuggle down for a magical shadow story.
